Parsnip Soup Recipe …a healthy and easy curry dish

If you’ve never tried parsnips before, this parsnip soup recipe is an easy introduction. Blended up, this dish is super creamy without a drop of cream, which is a healthy low-cal option and makes my belly happy on several levels. Parsnips are available year round. They resemble carrots, but are paler and have a stronger flavour. Give this parsnip soup recipe a try—it’s guaranteed super delicious or your money back.

Bring contents to a boil, add salt, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

After a half hour the parsnips and potato should be quite tender. For a creamy texture, blend soup as desired—no milk or cream are needed. I like to leave a few chunks of potato unblended, and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

And that’s it…give this parsnip soup recipe a try and let me know what you think!

Bon appétit!
